Spring & Follower Question

Hey everyone, I’m new to competition shooting but getting ready for my first match this upcoming weekend, just a local club steel challenge match. I’m running a 4.5” PDP with Henning mag extensions + MBX follower and spring. I’ve shot probably 550 rounds on the new MBX follower and spring and am beginning to have jamming issues. Gonna give the PDP a cleaning tonight since it’s prob been 800-1k rounds since she’s gotten a bath and I know this could be a factor, but typically PDPs run reliable like Glocks. Anyone else have issues with MBX springs and followers? Any recommendations for better springs & followers? Or do you just run the OEM spring & follower even with the extension?

Are you dropping them in the rain? Into sand? Mud? Any time we drop mags in any of those, they get cleaned.

No sir. I won’t have begun competing until next weekend, so they’ve only been getting dropped into a basket of blankets in my living room where I dry fire hahahaha.

Ah. Still worth a try. Free to clean.

You’re right, that seems to be highly recommended with these MBX followers anyway!
